[jcifs] SmbFile priviledges

[Michael B Allen]

Not officially but inlined below is my response to someone who submitted a patch for doing so.

| Nice Job Martin.

| The UnicodeString type from Jarapac that extends rpc.unicode_string should be used although it would need some fixing up (e.g. replace the toString contents with that of your uniCodeToString method). Also, jcifs.smb.SID should be modified to extend rpc.sid_t to take advantage of polymorphic behavior there also. Then you can use those extended types wherever you would use rpc.unicode_string or rpc.sid_t. That would simplify and speed things up a little.
| 
| It should be noted that users will need the Jarapac jar file:
| 
|   http://sourceforge.net/projects/jarapac/
| 
| Note: the Jarapac CVS repo is severly broken. Always download the package.
| 
| The patch is in the patches directory:
| 
|   http://jcifs.samba.org/src/patches/
| 
| It will be interesting to see how this works for people.
